This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

In WotC's defense, most people really don't, or don't want to, make their own creatures.

That being said, I do. I can tweak things, but consider it haphazard and prefer a framework to build around, or the existing framework to be exposed. Buying into a subscription model to do that is a non-starter for me.

Fantasy Craft is suiting my purpose this way right now. Creature/NPC system in book, free online tools, as well as free online Class framework (it actually has one) and point design system for PC races, talents, and specialties.
The Secret Volcano Base: my intermittently updated RPG blog.

Running: Pathfinder Scarred Lands, Mutants & Masterminds, Masks, Starfinder, Bulldogs!
Playing: Sigh. Nothing.
Planning: Some Cyberpunk thing, system TBD.
